Cams, racefuel, nitrous and 600psi should do it.

Funny you say this. I spoke to another mate who has a dyno dynamics dyno, and he said you know how my dyno reads high, i said yeah, the barometer was out. He said everytime they checked the dyno for accurateness, they never checked the air temp. So everytime he ran the dyno it corrected itself to read in the snow, hence reading high numbers. Weird but true.

What about a GT-RS..same boost response as a 2530 with almost the same power potential as a 2540 (10kw less on the test car)

absolutely incorrect. the GTRS has nowhere near the same response as a gt2530, there are plenty of dyno charts that are floating around on the silvia forums to show that it is quite laggier then the 2530.

your statement is something everyone was running around claiming when the GTRS first came out, on sr's without cams the turbo wont even make as much power as a 2530 and will be laggier as well

for a 2L i recommend the 2530, for 2.5rb 2530 is good. you will only get 10-20rwkw more with the 2535 over the 2530 in top end, but you sacrifice down low, and for an already laggy rb20, i would rather response then 10rwkw extra up top

Yes that sounds tru,i have a GT2535 and would like some more pulling power down low.It hits hard at 4000rpm and i love it but yer midrange is where id like more.

Funny you say this, but i ran a guy (from the forums) who is only running 14psi, 2535, RB25 producing 244rwkw. We had roll on runs and everytime i beat him quite easily with my 2530,19psi setup. Mid range there was simply no contest even if he jumped me i would still come past.

Ok I cant comment on the response, As it was compared to a 2540 not a 2530, (And it was alot more responsive than the 2540at 4000rpm it was up by 44%)but I have dyno graps that show the GTRS Makes only 10kw @ the wheels less than a 2540 wich would but it quite in front of the 2530 in the topend stakes. The only reason I suggested the GTRS is because this guy seemed interestend in having some more power up high than usual other wise I agree that the 2530 seems unbeatable for mid rage response.

Also in my first post I should have ball park boost response with the 2530 not the same that was me typing with out getting my meaning across clearly.

Is it fair to say that for this range of turbos the GTRS does the best job of melding decent response good mid range and good top end???

Some of you should realise that there are 2 kinds of GT-RS's. The ones that go on the SR's are slightly smaller than the ones that go on the RB25's (and RB20 if someone were to do that).

A GT-RS on an RB20 would be way too laggy IMO.

the gtr twin gt-rs's are smaller than the rb25 gt-rs turbo much like the 2530's for the gtr in twin form are smaller than rb25 single hks2530, pretty mcuh as bob said, im not sure if the sr20 and twin gt-rs are same size though

    • But there's the archetype for the name plate! Here's my view on that stupid TÜV ruleset. Buy a brand name aftermarket piece of equipment. In this case, the Mines front pipe we're talking about. Get it TÜV certified on the car. Damage the underside of it, say on a speed bump. Cut out the damaged section, replace with fresh metal. (For the sake of the argument only), continue doing that to the whole pipe until it is all gone, replaced with new metal. Is this grandfather's axe still the same front pipe? The design hasn't changed (much). The pipe walls are in the same places. The flanges are in the same places. It is functionally identical. How does this differ from a pipe that is ever so slightly different in fabrication (ie the number of welds in it, a few mm here and there in terms of where the pipes run, are joined, etc)? Anyone with 0.5% of a brain can see that there is absolutely no way that the performance (power, environmental aspects, noise, etc etc) of it can be any different than the genuine Mines pipe. Maybe even Mines made 2 versions of this design, with the same differences. How would anyone (say a TÜV inspector) ever be able to differentiate between them? And yet, they are so bloody anally retentive about this stuff. Mad. How upset would they be if you had the wrong spring washers on the flanges?

    • After a fairly extensive search using Japanese terms and checking Minkara etc, I couldn't find anything even close to your front pipe in the photos. I'm no expert but the two pipes merge really close to the flange connected to the catalytic converter which is rather unique from what I've seen, which makes me think it's more than likely a custom front pipe. The welds and 'more pipe sections than usual for a brand name pipe' makes it seem like a custom one.  Here's some photos of an old Mine's front pipe. You can see that it's just 4 pipe sections as opposed to 6, and arguably looks more like a 'production' front pipe:
